Happy Birthday Kala!

So tomorrow is Kala Kanti's birthday. In case you need a reminder - she's the mother of the cutest twin girls Nadiya and Nayana. So anyways Jala organised a little surprise party for her - and we had so much fun!

Karuna, who lives right next door to Kala and her husband, invited her over for lunch, and so we sneakily arrived about half an hour before Kala was scheduled to come... laden with cake, candles, custard, ice cream, party hats, balloons.. you name it. She walked in the room and

SURPRISE!!

Actually she told us later on that she started to suspect a little... so it wasn't really a full surprise. But it didn't matter, we celebrated in style and had pasta salad and fizzy and soup and potatoes and cake and custard and ice cream. Afterward we went out on the balcony and the kids played together wildly for about an hour. God knows they'll all fall asleep soundly tonight!

Here's a few photos of our fun afternoon...

CAKE!!
A layered chocolate and vanilla cake to be exact.

Party people.
(L-R) Me, Jahnu, KD, Madhurika and Ishaan, Kala, one of the twins (Nayana I think?), Jala and Karuna off to the side.

Jala shortly after she rolled on the floor in the glitter confetti. Yes I said rolled on the floor.

Two balloons inside a balloon. Interesting yes.
